We'll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I've had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.

Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.

Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.

We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh.. it's July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let's hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.

Latest version of Jerboa on Google Play doesn't work with servers below 0.18;

For those who want to use Jerboa to access lemmy.world before the upgrade to 0.18.x happens, you can install a specific release from GitHub instead of Google Play. I found version 0.0.34-alpha to work (using it rn to post this). https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases/tag/0.0.34

Edit: since the update is done, it's probably best to go back to latest version. Glad I helped someone!

It's working! Writing from jerboa.

Super responsive, and I can login using Jerboa 37!

My outdoor BBQ Im hosting starts at the same time as the lemmy upgrade. See you all on the other side and good luck LW admin!

Is it wise to do a big deployment on the day when you may receive a massive influx of new users from Reddit? The API changes take affect on the 1st.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Wise ? No. Useful ? Maybe. If the improvement can help with the load and the general experience, it's a good idea.

And, hm, the "site is down sometimes" experience would not be that foreign to reddit user in the first place :D

Logging in doesn't work - returns 404 record not found. Resetting password does log you in though,

Things look better. Thank you for the updates!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Did I just check lemmy right after the reboot? Good timing huh

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is this happening now? Everything seems up and running

EDIT: absolutely perfect timing

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Cleared my cache and cookies as I thought it would be necessary like last time, but now I can't log in. The login button just turns into the animated wheel and then nothing happens. I'm typing this on a mobile where I still have an active session.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I can't also login

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm trying to login on Jerboa now and it spins forever :(

Slow, but working.

I don't know if we're slow because of the upgrade, or because of the July rush from Reddit losing 3rd party API access.

Looks like the update is showing, but it's been slow since. Hopefully not permanent. Also having issues upvoting.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Looks like DB's struggling under the load ๐Ÿค” Any chance to move DB to the separate server?

This hasn't gone well! Fingers crossed it sorts itself out without a rollback.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I can feel the heat off those servers from here.

The Reddit users seem to be wasting no time jumping over to Lemmy, now that their apps just got the boot.

Now the question is: how many will stick around?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If we spray them with glue, quite a few.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

May god help us all

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you for all of your hard work!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

For those that were about to Google it... 20:00 CET is 12pm PDT and 3pm EDT

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Y'all are so nice and transparent here. This place is lovely, unlike Reddit and their admins lol.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Good luck. This is my favorite instance so I will be eagerly awaiting. Lemmy has been incredible and strangely what I needed. I would doom scroll reddit and see the same posts and the same comment chains and just redundancy hell.

Lemmy feels so different and the community is so welcoming. Thanks again everyone for making this lost Redditor a found lemming (is that the correct term lol).

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much for your hard work! I deeply appreciate it.
